Lol weather is nice here but come on it's California let me at least have the nice weather nothing else is good here beyond that these days. Oh and regarding the oranges I may do just that have a few orange trees and a fresh orange from the tree sounds great right now.

Oh went for a tour with a gal I met a few days prior. Ended up in California and we were driving through the orange groves.
I stopped and the pickers and boss were out in the grove. I yelled over that we were from 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 and never picked an orange off a tree.
"Go ahead, fill your boots!"
A great memory

It's funny I grew up on fresh oranges and fresh squeezed orange juice so anything store bought to me just is no good. Nothing beats fresh squeezed orange juice. We have a blood orange, a navel orange, and valencia orange.

For juice I'd go blood orange and naval. The valencia is good eating

Another shipwreck uncovered or washed in....this one on bald head island Beach in NC.

If you look at that beach cut got to be some older/deeper goodies up for grabs.

I wonder if that big OJ plant still up and running in Bradenton?

I remember detecting over near there one time, started to get the drive-by lurk. 1 st time dude's nose was visible above the steering wheel.
2nd time slower even, passenger gunning me off, looking like Waldo slouched down.

I looked around the park and the mom's with their children had disappeared, between the 1st & 2nd cruises.
Now I was alone in what 5 minutes-park hoping-kids screaming fun to nothing.

I watched them as I detected, they were up at the far end of the street block.
One dude got out opened the truck, then got back in the car.
I had worked my way to the far side of the field to be near the Lexus.
When the dude did the 3 point turn, I booked it to car.
I slid down in the seat and watched them pull up to the park, they jumped out looking around for me.
By then I was just waiting for them to come around to my side of the park, because of OJ plant they had a ways to go, and I knew I'd be gone.
LaterI found out the area wasn't on the top 10 list to hang out in.

I guess my snarky message to the bank stirred the pot....I got not one but 2 secure messages from them...lol.

One issue settled and got a 3rd message on another situation and sent them a secure message with the paperwork required to finalize my tfsa comparable to the U.S. Roth plan.

Well for supper tonight we're having sauerkraut and mushroom pierogis. I'll saute up some onions and we'll have that and some sour cream or plain yogurt with them. I'll steam up some broccoli as a side veggie. Lots of dill pickles, marinated eggplant and marinated roasted peppers to go along with them. Oh yeah and ARC all that marinated stuff is floating in olive oil and your favourite lots and lots of garlic....

ARC,
Well traditionally the pierogis would be washed down with vodka so you'll have to skip the rum tonight.... Enjoy and hope you and the missus are bouncing back from the virus.
